"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

i have a deep voice that just blends in with any noise thats going on and makes me impossible to hear. I am fine in one on one conversations but the more people the harder it is to conversate. .. in conversations i am usually interupted or asked to repeat myself. Anyway enough whining, i was just wondering if anyone else has this problem and how they deal with it. Should i just start yelling at everyone i talk to in group conversations, because my voice kind of gives off a monotone deep boring sound.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Work on your tonality. Smoothen it out, and project more. It may be a good idea for you to get a voice recorder to listen to yourself. The voice recorder is also good for recording sarges. You can listen to yourself after the fact and see what you need work on.

People would be able to hear you more if you talked more slowly.

Yeah I did. What you gotta do is project more at your audience. Whether it's one person or 1,000 you gotta learn to use your stomach and project your voice into them.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yep PlayerSupreme is right, it's all about projecting from your stomach.

I used to have this problem (and sometimes still do), and found that Mr Fingers' post on voice exercises helped me out a bit.

Also, if you feel outgoing and enthusiastic about whatever you are talking about, it will tend to show through in your voice.

High testosterone levels are reasonably important too. After a workout, my voice feels good, but after say masturbating.....my voice is still deep, but weak at the same time. Anyone else find this?

You have to talk louder. I have the same problem with the deep voice.

If I talk loud enough, it looks like I am acting superior to my boss. If I try to change tonality I come off unconfident.

Gotta get that tape recorder I guess...

What!!!?!?!?!?!Hahahahahahahahaha!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I've had phone calls and people knocking on the door straight after I'm done on some occasions. :D
